La Guerra de los Tres Billones de Dolares: El Costo Real del Conflicto de Irak = The Three Trillion Dollar War

Readers may be surprised to learn just how difficult it was for Nobel prize-winning economist Stiglitz and Kennedy School of Government professor Bilmes to dig up the actual and projected costs of the Iraq War for this thorough piece of accounting. Because ""emergency"" funds have been used to pay for most of the war, explain the authors, the White House has kept even Congress and the comptroller feneral from getting a clear idea on the war's true costs. This shocking expos\xE9 is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the war was financed, as well as what it means for troops on the ground and the nation's future. PW 4/7/08
